So in conclusion its needlessly messy. I am sure other projects than
PEAR also have a Date class. Maybe we need to teach our users (including
PEAR) that they should simply stick to prefixing everything with 3-4
letter combinations (maybe even offer a central place to register them,
like we should do in the PEAR channel listing -
http://pear.php.net/channels/).
That conclusion means stay with date in ext/date and have pear learn the
lesson by making the same mistake in core. Once again the only solution is
namespacing.
indeed.
though this "mistake" applies to all of PEAR at this point ..
it effectively means we need to fix _all_ of PEAR (which might be the
point where you start of from scratch, php5 only etc .. but this is a
topic for the pear mailinglists)
